lyrics:

WACO (We Ain't Comin' Out)

dedicated to David Koresh



Whacko Waco
We ain't comin' out
Not until we hear the angels shout
The Book of Revelation
Will tell you what it's all about
The end is near
and we're in here and
We Ain't Comin' Out.

ii

I go seven seals
I got seven guns
I got seven wives
And they've got seven sons
I'm an angel with an Uzi
Savior of the World
Gonna sit in my Jacuzzi
Mess around with little girls

iii

Little girl
now don't you be afraid
Gonna show you how a martyr's made
Got an Abrams on my doorstep
But you know that ain't no clout
Gonna sit right here on my god rocket
We Ain't Comin' Out

iv

A voice from heaven
Via microwave
TV cameras
And a soul to save
Ya gotta hand full of gimmie
And a mouth full of much oblige
If you're not gettin' any
Are you tellin' lies?

v

All is Pride
All is Vanity
Sweet thirteen
You're gonna marry me
And the ATF and the FBI
Don't know what it's all about
Your sweet lips
And the Apocalypse
We Ain't Comin' Out

Hi LR,

Now I'm no music critic so take all this with a grain of salt.... I won't mention anything about the vocal stylings though I really liked the wind work..my speakers aren't too shit hot but it sounded like you sneaked some clarinet in beneath the flute as well. Overall I enjoyed this little diddy. I liked it before I even heard it because of the lyrics. Its a nice jab at a modern madman whose cult really did seem to be based on the subjects you touched on and not what he claimed it was. Anyways, thanks for sharing it LR.

Thanks for listening, Trevor

yeah, that's a clarinet under there, I tried to make it sound sinister

Here's the story of that tune: I wrote it during the siege on the Davidian compound. The night that I debuted it at The Balcony Club in Dallas was the same day that they torched the place. I had watched it happen live on TV that afternoon. I felt slightly strange about performing the tune, but by that time patrons of the club were already making jokes like, "How many Branch Davidians can you fit in a Volkswagen? It depends on how big the ashtray is." So I went ahead and did it.
